migmtl76 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The main flaw is grease stain in back How does that affect the grade ? Thanks for your input ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OuterboroGuy Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 A higher quality scan would aid in grading, especially on the cover. Blowing up the pic, I see some funky stuff going on with the cover alongside "Never Let the Black Cat Cross Your Path"; maybe one or two spine tics, hard to tell; looks like a very small chip on top of front cover above "Group" in Marvel banner; ink smears on back cover; food or grease stain on back cover. 7.0 - 8.0 -- that stain on the back cover kills the grade. migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input. I was even thinking 6.0. Of course cleaning the back will help and a press too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 7.0 IMO. migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Yeah 6.5-7.0 for me with that stain. I have a deep hatred for stains...unless they are faint water stains on an old book. migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
